Damnation shooting to retail next month

UK publisher Codemasters has named May 22nd as the day it will release its interesting Xbox 360, PS3 and PC shooter Damnation in Europe.

The game distances itself from its many competitors by trying to bring to shooting genre to a true 3D gaming arena, with vertically varied environments requiring the player to consider what’s above and below just as much as what is straight ahead.

All the environments have multiple paths through them, giving players real freedom in deciding how to go about tackling the enemy,” lead game designer Jacob Minkoff stated.

Some will prefer to run straight at them with their trusty Railroad Spike Gun. Others would prefer to climb and leap right to the top, avoiding direct fire fights by sniping and raining down death from above.”
